KFZ from United States, CO Public Profile

bought this to use as an all-round harness, its surprisingly (considering the weight and minimal padding) comfortable to hang and belay in, and really lightweight and packable (i actually managed to stuff it into the pouch that came with my petzl sitta, the one that comes with this one is generously sized to say the least), the only issue i have with it is that it fits quite big, so if youre between sizes make sure to take the smaller one, i got a size L but would be more than ok with a M, for reference the sitta size L fits me perfectlly but the thigh loops are too tight to use during the winter, the thigh loops on this are ok even if i thighten them all the way, and the only way to make the waist fit when climbing with minimal layers is to take the webbing out of the liitle loop at the edge and tighten it past that point. the plus side is that doing that brings the gear loops closer to the front so gear is easier to see and get to. Talking about gear loops, this thing fits my entire alpine rack without issues, so thats a plus. overall in the limited amount of time i have been using this, im impressed.

bottom line: if youre looking for something that does everything well at an impressive weight and packabilty, look no further.

This tent is phenomenal. It's light and durable, while offering enough space for 3 people, though I have used it for 2 people plus gear, which I think is more ideal. 3 people in this tent would be cramped, but certainly doable. Also, the weight penalty between the 2P and 3P version is minimal and worth it given the extra comfort and space for gear or a dog. Super easy to pitch. Did it the first time in light rain and it went very quickly. Poured rain on the first night and stayed completely dry while having no condensation buildup. So far, after multiple nights and climbing objectives, it looks brand new.

This jacket ticks all the boxes: breathable, durable, a hood that actually fits a helmet, and cuffs that accommodate gloves. It is more winter focused due to the cuffs, but I could not imagine a better jacket for ice climbing or winter mountaineering.

I use these as the master point for multipitch trad anchors. I can anchor myself, belay my partner, and anchor my partner while keeping things organized and efficient. Also great for parties of three when belaying from the shelf. The autolocking is also amazing and fool proof. I have had other normal and autolocking biners that have issues freezing in the winter and this mechanism eliminates such a possibility.

At 25g, this carabiner is amazing! Compared to the CAMP Photon, another lightweight, non-keylock carabiner, the Mission saves you 5g, has a wider rope bearing surface, and only a slightly shorter roping bearing surface (but still more than enough for twin ropes). Also, this an Edelrid product, made in Italy, not China like CAMP's products. The quality is evident as the weight variations between different Missions carabiners is almost non-existent, whereas the Photons can vary by ~5%. Overall, these are now my go-to carabiners for the rope side of my alpine draws and for winter racking when using gloves (I use Edelrid Nineteen's for summer racking).

I was skeptical about a tiny 19g carabiner, but I was looking to shave weight off my rack and thought I would give these a try. Wow! They are full strength, light (lightest in the market), and maintain amazing usability despite their small size. Granted, I do not plan to use them for missions in the winter that require large gloves, nor do I plan to use them for alpine draws (as I prefer keylock noses on my draws to prevent snagging on slings or pitons and a wider surface area, especially if using double ropes). However, as racking biners for trad and alpine rock, they are perfect and helped me shave over 1/2 a pound off my rack!

Super lightweight, packable, and quite warm. Much warmer than a Micro Puff at the same weight. Perfect as a belay jacket and the breathable panels mean you can also exert yourself a bit without fearing that the down will wet out. Perfect for my needs.
